Exploring Tactility In the week that I experimented with the laser-cutter at school, I decided to make something for my good friend and old flatmate Pato, who got married a month ago. Being unable to attend the ceremony back in Mexico, I chose to do something that they could touch and smell and that represented…

Project Cardboard

I know I’ve been talking a lot about these new cool Augmented Reality glasses Google’s Project Glass demoed recently. Even the Book of the Week (The End of Hardware) reflected the hands-free, future-is-now approach. And of course, I couldn’t help but share it with friends. I made a very “quick and dirty” prototyping experiment: create these…

Book of the week
The End of Hardware They say “don’t judge a book by its cover” and I think that in this case, it rang true. Aside from the Clip-Art graphics on the cover, The End of Hardware, by Rolf R. Hainich talks about what a few years from now was in the edge of product development or…

Creative programming for Non-Coders Remember the video I posted of Pixels for the People? Well, the guy who did the amazing work behind it, Seb Lee-Delisle,  believes that you have to see what you are doing. You need an immediate connection with what you are manipulating and the result: the programming and how it looks and…

Limited Language: rewriting design

Book of the week
Feedback Culture This book has put into words some of the thoughts I’ve been having, as well as how and what my conceptual framework for my MA project is. It addresses reflection on design practice, and touches on Relational Aesthetics, open-ended (and shared) experiences, micro-utopias and asks: what happens after humanising technology through design? This…

ACRYLIC I tried cutting acrylic with laser. I wanted to cut words that relate to my project; some results were crisp and detailed, others fell apart (too thin type, and I need to play more with the settings). Either way, I loved ending up with pieces like these! __________________________________________________________________________________________ Co-create Experience limps Reality is broken…
